my name
Well it is cold here in Edmonton and I was getting a little bored of being in my house and I thought I would google my name, yip that is the kind of thing you do when it is -40 with the wind chill. I was thinking of my name because this cashier today said it was "interesting", and when she said interesting she said it with the undertones of it being interesting in a bad way. But don't worry I still love my name and especially after I read the last line in the definition of Kasha that I found online on Wikipedia. I had not heard this one before.
The definition of Kasha from Wikipedia:
Kasha is a porridge made with wheat, buckwheat, oats, millet, rice, potatoes, etc. Kasha is one of the oldest known meals in Eastern European cuisine, at least a thousand years old, and second in its significance only to bread. It is a common filling for a knish.
The word "kasha" is commonly used in modern American English to describe roasted whole-grain buckwheat or buckwheat groats, a misnomer. The misnomer probably originated with Jewish immigrants, as "kashi" (a plural form, literally translating into "porridges") and is sometimes sold in US supermarket as "Jewish national food".
The meaning of the word kasha in Slavic languages does not refer specifically to buckwheat groats, but a whole family of porridges (although buckwheat porridge was one of the earliest known examples of kashas). One notable example of this is the Russian "Guryevskaya Kasha", which is believed to have been invented by the chef of the Russian Minister of Finance Dmitry Guryev in the early 1800s. The exact recipe is rather complex, but essentially it is a viscous semolina porridge, mixed with sugar, vanilla, nuts and pieces of fruit ( apricots).
Kasha is also a female name in some parts of the world.
Kasha is also a commonly used term for "bestest" in certain parts of the world

not ready for winter
This morning when I woke up and looked out my window this is what I saw...
Yip everything covered in snow. I have never been the biggest fan of snow and winter but when it comes in October I like it even less. Hopefully this snow is not here to stay, however, it sure felt like it was here to stay today with the wind blowing and the crisp temperatures.
